Although Simoneacknowledged how she did not feel invisible in the interdisciplinary engineering program, sheactively chose to remain at the peripheral of the program. This work highlights the need to improvedisciplinary cultures where certain students cannot fall under the radar due to the biases of facultyand students to recognize the value of their knowledge and p erspectives in engineering classrooms.IntroductionAs the nature of engineering work explicitly calls for interdisciplinary practices, interdisciplinaryfields and programs have emerged to support the growing demand.

A survey of best practices on engineering leadershipeducation from over 40 colleges by Paul & Falls [12] reveal five themes that emerge as thefundamental goal of engineering leadership education programs: effective leadership,innovation and technology, independent learning, experiential learning, and systemsthinking. The analysis of the competencies developed found a diverse spread across theprograms. Overall, six key competencies emerged: communication, innovation, creativity,execution, personal drive, and teamwork.

This transition has led to a dramatically rising level ofknow-how and use of technology. Driven by continuing market liberalization, the transitioncontinues at an accelerating rate.The increasing global competition between companies forces the routine operations (e.g.manufacturing) to be transferred to countries with low manpower costs.

Eliciting and probing were two discussion moves that we usedfrom literature on eliciting student knowledge [38]. Here, eliciting suggests that the NPM asks aquestion that has not been addressed by Ciara so far, whereas probing suggests that Ciara sharessome information about a topic that the NPM follows-up on through additional questioning.We used subcodes to further describe how NPMs elicited or probed about logistics and for thesupportive statements they used.
